New Delhi, July 04: The much-awaited monsoon is at Delhi’s doorstep, with the weatherman today predicting that the rainy season will descend in two days over the city which has received good pre-monsoon showers in the past 24 hours.
However, the pre-monsoon rains did not give any respite to Delhiites from uncomfortable weather conditions due to higher humidity levels, though the maximum dipped to 33 degree Celsius. The humidity oscillated between 55 and 95 per cent during the day.
“The South-West monsoon has revived and conditions are favourable for it to cover the rest of the country by next 4 to 5 days. It is expected to hit Delhi by July 5 or 6,” B P Yadav, Director, India Meteorological Department, told PTI.
The city had missed its usual June 29 date with the seasonal rains this year.
